Experience as a general concept comprises knowledge of or skill in or observation of some thing or some event gained through involvement in or exposure to that thing or event. The history of the word experience aligns it closely with the concept of experiment.

The concept of experience generally refers to know-how or procedural knowledge, rather than propositional knowledge: on-the-job training rather than book-learning. Philosophers dub knowledge based on experience "empirical knowledge" or "a posteriori knowledge".

The interrogation of experience has a long tradition in continental philosophy. Experience plays an important role in the philosophy of Søren Kierkegaard. The German term Erfahrung, often translated into English as "experience", has a slightly different implication, connoting the coherency of life's experiences.

A person with considerable experience in a certain field can gain a reputation as an expert.

Certain religious traditions (such as types of Buddhism, Surat Shabd Yoga, mysticism and Pentecostalism) and educational paradigms with, for example, the conditioning of military recruit-training (also known as "boot camps"), stress the experiential nature of human epistemology. This stands in contrast to alternatives: traditions of dogma, logic or reasoning. Participants in activities such as tourism, extreme sports and recreational drug-use also tend to stress the importance of experience.

What were the experiences of black people in feudal or ancient japan?
Q. I have googled it every way I know how, and can't find any accounts of black peoples' experiences in feudal Japan; except for a debated description of the shogun Sakanoue no Tamuramaro. He may or may not have been a very dark Japanese man. What I hope to learn about are any foreign black individuals in Japan, during the years before and up to the Meiji Era.

A. Japan, being a seafaring nation, would have been aware of Black people, primarily aboriginal people from what became the indonesian archipelago and the Philippines. It was not uncommon for Japanese pirates to capture native men and women and sell them off as slaves and concubines, it is plausible that Japanese of mixed race would have existed in that era.

How do I reconcile my experiences with out of body and astral projection with being an atheist?
Q. This question is like my biggest paradox. I can recall in great and extensive detail of my out of body experiences and astral travel and projections as actual real phenomenon. However, I am not a religious or a philosophical person, and I am also inclined to accept science and the evolution theory for the origins of life and the universe. However, I am aware that science hasn't unraveled all of the brain's "mysteries" and that is still much unknown about human consciousness.

A. Astral projection doesn't have anything to do with gods. There, astral projection reconciled. Atheism is just the nonbelief in gods. Everything and anything else is fair game.

A. During the childhood everybody want to develop his personality, but often parents don t allow it and want the child to be and do what they want and don t notice what the child want and need. So this child follow two ways, the own one and the way of their parents. Anytime there is a point where this person doesn t know what he is, what he wants and what he wants to do. It s an inner conflict, and before he do the wrong he stop everything, feel bad and sad.
